00:00:27 Yes 00:00:33 sure it can 00:00:47 that's why I suggested it 00:01:01 but I doubt it'd be particularly easy to do from scratch 00:01:09 Probably not. 00:02:29 Has anybody written a pattern description language to give to Conway's Life universal constructors? 00:02:36 it would be cool if the life state was shaped like a giant numeric display 00:02:44 -!- liber has left (?). 00:04:19 If how? 00:05:34 like the final result of the calculation was shown as the final pattern of cells 00:05:57 * ihope nods 00:18:18 It's not even been proven that a universal constructor is possible in Life. . . 00:18:48 Or, for that matter, a replicator. 00:22:33 bbl 00:32:52 i bet they aren't 00:33:56 er, a universal constructor is disproven, nothing can construct the gardens of eden 00:34:10 similarly, nothing can replicate them either, since that would involve constructing them. 00:36:29 unless "universal constructor" means something else? 00:38:12 A replicator is a pattern which creates itself. 00:38:29 A universal constructor would be a device which can create anything, given appropriate instructions. . . 00:39:15 I'd say a universal constructor *is* impossible in Life, since garden of eden patterns are in existence. 00:39:22 A replicator, though? Might be possible. 00:39:38 Not truly universal. 00:39:40 Maybe a constructor which can create anything which has a previous pattern. . . 00:39:52 Yeah, it wouldn't be universal. 00:39:56 A universal constructor is something that can build anything that can be built. 00:41:29 Otherwise, I'd call it a universal constructor. ;) 00:41:55 An as-universal-as-it's-going-to-get constructor. 00:42:04 So, it could build everything but garden of eden patterns. . . 00:42:11 Or, if you think that's clumsy, a limit-universal constructor. 00:42:11 Hmm./ 00:42:11 So, no proof. 00:42:13 -!- Figs has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 00:42:20 What about the successor of a Garden of Eden? 00:42:47 That depends: can those be built by other patterns? 00:43:01 Maybe. 00:44:10 It's not been proven either way. ;) 00:47:59 this is like proving properties about "programs except those which don't halt" 00:48:40 well, no, that one is actually very useful :) 01:41:09 -!- Figs has joined. 01:41:19 -!- sebbu has quit ("@+"). 01:57:08 how about taking the biochemistry approach here- identify a specific number of "molecules" (gliders, stable patterns, etc) to use in the construction process. Then just make a machine that can make any arbitrary arrangement of said elements 01:57:48 or were you guys interested in a UC more as a theoretical construct than a useful one? 01:58:18 i recall something considered about building anything that can be done starting with gliders 01:58:51 well, glider collisions are generally how you make stuff in Life. 01:58:59 possibly with the gliders coming from an arbitrary large distance 01:59:23 You can make stuff from other of the spaceships. . . 01:59:58 pikhq: ah, yes- I was using my terminology incorrectly. By "glider", I meant any self-moving pattern 02:00:05 Ah. 02:00:23 my comment was about gliders proper 02:00:38 gliders can be quite versatile 02:00:44 afair 02:01:00 are there reliable methods for making glider "reflectors", if you get my meaning? 02:01:52 Self-moving patterns are properly called spaceships. 02:02:02 Gliders can be reflected easily, I think. 02:02:14 ihope: I am aware of this- I forgot myself for a bit 02:02:19 hm 02:02:21 * ihope nods 02:03:03 I wonder if we could map any of the stream-deflecting 2d esolangs directly into Life 02:04:21 * SimonRC indicates the "Ladder" patterns 02:06:32 a turing machine with a finite tape is really just a FSM right? 02:06:39 yeah 02:07:11 RodgerTheGreat: we probably could. 02:07:49 a something -> Life pattern could be very interesting 02:08:09 a compiler, if you will 02:23:53 boo! 02:23:58 * Figs is back 02:24:18 eek 02:24:45 are you guys still talking about that life thing? :P 02:25:10 well the last comment before yours was about it 02:25:12 hehe, 02:25:25 yes, and I was surprised 02:25:39 :P 02:25:45 didn't think my topic would last so long 02:26:23 Is there any science to setting the XP Pagefile to a fixed size relating to performance? 02:26:50 * Figs prods oklopol 02:27:08 is that a cattle prod? 02:27:21 it's an okloprod 02:27:50 * SimonRC goes to bed 02:28:20 cya 02:28:44 * Figs waves good-bye to SimonRC 02:29:02 cya, SimonRC 02:30:19 hehehehe, make a life <-> malbolge cross compiler :D 02:30:30 in brainfuck 02:31:08 then, a brainfuck <-> malbolge cross compiler in life 02:31:16 :P 02:31:26 that'd be hard 02:31:58 and then, you can probably get a life <-> brainfuck compiler in malbolge automatically 02:35:13 Just make a Brainfuck > Malbolge compiler or interpreter, and I will worship you. 02:35:47 Same prize as for solving the halting problem for Turing machines in a Turing-complete system. 02:36:25 Hell, I'll even give you that prize for creating a halting oracle. 02:37:50 * Figs turns randomly flips the switch on the database server 02:38:03 bwahaha! A halting Oracle... 02:38:42 Not what I meant. . . 02:39:00 That's for the lawyers to decide :D 02:39:06 :P 02:39:32 "Yes, but in subclause 12.1.1 you said..." 02:40:20 *sigh*, worship is so expensive nowadays. unless you can sing or do sports. 02:41:06 or not wear shorts. 02:43:04 * oerjan isn't wearing shorts. 02:43:41 beware for your ports! 02:44:13 i have a firewall on. 02:44:13 pikhq: but how are we supposed to *make* an Oracle? Turing made it pretty explicitly clear (as we could determine with a bit of logic) that an Oracle cannot be a machine 02:44:33 wait, wait 02:44:42 an Oracle is improbable 02:44:48 RodgerTheGreat: you are missing the point :) 02:44:50 Rodger, you must give birth! 02:44:57 if we can calculate *exactly* how improbable one is... 02:45:00 yes, you! 02:45:04 The chosen one... 02:45:12 Figs: an _oracle_, not a _miracle_ 02:45:13 feed it into a finite improbability generator, 02:45:26 * Figs gives rodger some tea 02:45:27 provide a good brownian motion source 02:45:30 bingo 02:45:51 the probability is 42 02:45:57 you can figure out the units on your own. 02:46:00 and pow! I win the International Turing award for extreme cleverness 02:46:48 we need a language called brainspunge 02:47:16 and subsequently will be lynched by a mob of irate computer scientists who decide that what they *really* can't stand is a smartass 02:47:18 whence the sp? 02:48:00 all computer scientists are smartasses already 02:48:09 use spoon 02:48:37 Brainfuck + Spoon + Befunge = Brainsponge 02:49:13 i figured the others 02:49:24 :P 02:49:26 Actually, you'd be celebrated, since all hackers are smartasses. ;) 02:49:33 that too 02:49:36 -!- GregorR-L has joined. 02:49:57 Figs: When a contract is not sufficiently specific, the intent of both parties is considered. 02:50:59 lessee, if you have Spoon and brainfork, there should also be a brainknife? 02:51:28 what about BrainHammer? 02:51:31 yes yes, but you will still need a brainsponge to clean up all the mess from eating 02:51:45 And a brainsink 02:52:24 BrainHammer sounds like a descendant of FYB 02:52:30 FyB? 02:52:52 Brainscaple. ;) 02:52:54 with massive legions of fighting programs 02:52:57 it's (brain)Hammertime! 02:52:59 Fuck Your Brain. 02:53:04 oh 02:53:07 pikhq: WRONG SPELLINGZ! 02:53:08 Brane 02:53:11 pikhq: Fuk Yor Brane 02:53:20 GregorR-L: It's not my fault that you can't spell two words. 02:53:24 lol 02:53:26 And use "brane" in the wrong context. 02:53:37 I made a BF-powered robot fighting game kinda like RoboWar 02:53:43 http://tinyurl.com/2rfynx 02:54:01 and then I realized what a shitty idea it actually was when I started trying to make warriors 02:54:11 Figs: Self portrait? 02:54:21 lol 02:54:40 the best I ever did was a bot that could kinda ram into other ones 02:54:56 Figs: nice use of "The Angles" 02:54:59 Rodger, that's why you need GA 02:55:07 The Angles?

Always :( 05:17:42 2008 Model T: designed by Henry Ford via Ouija board. 05:18:00 that would be awesome 05:18:28 The whole Ouija board thing became cool in our school last year for a few months. 05:18:45 it'd be hand-built, totally standardized, the engine would run like a fine watch (at around 10hp), and there'd be some antisemetic commentary in there somewhere 05:19:13 Sukoshi: really? How did *that* fad begin? 05:19:14 Ooh. Can I provide the Anti-semetic commentary? 05:19:22 Sukoshi: go for it 05:19:27 And it'd be available in black or swastika-textured black. :p 05:19:31 RodgerTheGreat: You know teenagers and the sudden unge for the super-natural. 05:19:45 I have a new cool nickname at school. 05:19:47 Marx. 05:19:52 fun 05:20:05 Groucho? 05:20:09 Heck no. 05:20:14 The one and only Karl. 05:20:31 at least they aren't referring to you as a dude who was embalmed and placed on display after his death 05:21:03 Ever since most of us have gone to AP World History, Communist has become a larger and larger fad at our school. 05:21:20 the next "emo", eh? 05:21:31 Only among honors students though. 05:21:32 should mean some fun down the road 05:21:37 huh. 05:21:42 Some of the people in the fad are actual Communists, methinks, but most of us just do it for the fun of waving around red flags and drawing neo-Marxist symbols. 05:22:02 I made the Hammer-Sickle smilie-face ;) 05:22:07 I'd prefer to be a French revolutionary. 05:22:23 Randomly shout "Liberte, egalite, fraternite!" (misspelt, I know) 05:22:43 after my honors english class read and discussed Animal Farm, everyone in class referred to one another as "comrade" for the remaining three years of high school 05:23:29 lol 05:24:19 we also did an activity where we divided the classroom into a small "ruling class" and proletariats, and the idea was that the ruling class would become corrupt. Problem was, we put so many checks and balances into the system when we created it that it turned out utopian. 05:24:29 Noice. 05:24:35 It was a hilariously bad "example of how communism is evil" 05:25:09 Communism isn't neccesarily evil, it just depends upon a hard-to-corrupt democratic system to actually work. 05:25:47 I'm not saying it's evil, I'm saying that was the point we were supposed to learn from the activity (although not explicitly stated as such) 05:26:00 Which is kind of stupid. 05:26:05 * RodgerTheGreat shrugs 05:26:17 it's a literature class. 05:26:24 It's usually implied that communism is a system of government, rather than an economic system. . . 05:26:28 Ah. 05:26:31 we had to build things out of paper in my literature class 05:26:40 Well, in that case, the teacher should just be beaten, rather than executed. :p 05:26:42 I think we had to build a structure that could hold up books out of just paper 05:26:55 * pikhq really doesn't like teachers that are horribly wrong 05:27:15 * Figs hands pikhq HP6 05:27:16 *5 05:27:17 the only time I ever had to build things out of paper was my "introduction to engineering class" (which I was transferred into when my HS cancelled Electronics ||.) 05:27:21 * RodgerTheGreat shakes his fist 05:27:39 O_o 05:28:23 I should learn how to obfuscate perl and scheme 05:28:25 err 05:28:31 Pascal and Java 05:28:33 but it was pretty sweet. 12 inches high, made out of 3 pieces of 8.5x11 paper and a meter of masking tape, held 9.8 kilos 05:28:33 haha 05:28:34 :D 05:28:40 big typo 05:28:41 :P 05:28:56 some would call that a Freudian Slip... :P 05:29:10 lol 05:30:06 ... So, Newton, Pascal, and Einstein are playing hide and seek... 05:30:11 obfuscating Java is pretty much as simple as abstracting everything to a ridiculous degree until people can sift through all your code files, read TONS of javadoc comments and be utterly incapable of figuring out where your code is 05:30:23 Einstein starts counting, and Pascal runs off. 05:30:23 it's like looking through the JavaC source. 05:30:49 Newton, on the other hand, pulls out a bit of chalk and draws a 1 meter by 1 meter square on the floor and stands in it. 05:30:52 I page through a ton of anstractions and interfaces, get to the center of things, and I'm like "where *IS* it?" 05:31:10 Einstein finishes counting, and, of course, sees Newton still standing there 05:31:17 "Ah ha! Found you Newton..." 05:31:25 -!- Devi| has joined. 05:31:38 "No no... This is 1 Newton per square meter, and that's Pascal!" 05:31:38 I just assume that programmers at Sun are magical and figured out how to abstract everything until it requires zero code to implement 05:32:15 so, Sukoshi: final answer: want an avatar? 05:33:52 -!- pikhq_ has joined. 05:34:29 Figs: lol 05:35:45 RodgerTheGreat: Yeah! 05:35:50 Make it a Communist one too! 05:36:07 http://www.berro.com/joke/best_lawyer_story.htm 05:36:20 -!- GreaseMonkey has joined. 05:36:22 RodgerTheGreat: Or you can pass Objects everywhere and cast when you need something ;D 05:36:33 (Basically copying the C obfuscation process of casting void* ) 05:36:55 Sukoshi: sweet! do you have a source image? 05:37:08 -!- GreaseMonkey has changed nick to N0body. 05:37:27 ooh, the evils of Just-In-Time casting. clever. 05:38:59 RodgerTheGreat: Hmmm... 05:39:20 RodgerTheGreat: How large is this avatar? 05:39:23 -!- pikhq__ has joined. 05:39:31 -!- N0body has changed nick to GreaseMonkey. 05:39:43 http://www.berro.com/joke/best_10_answering_machine_messag.htm 05:40:11 Sukoshi: any size you want.

The possible reasons for exception are quite different for, say, an InputStreamReader reading a socket than a FileReader. 10:38:55 It's a FileReader. 10:39:48 I assume it's just a generic IOException and not one of the N more specific subclasses you can also catch with a catch(IOException e)? 10:42:09 No, it's not 10:42:10 . 10:42:20 It's an IOException only. 10:42:34 I've guarded against EOFs and such, so, I'm failing to see the problem here. 10:44:40 It happens when you read(...) things, I assume?

In the meanwhile a working workaround was to jumper the disk to look like a 32G one, and set CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE on. That configuration setting doesn't seem to exist any more, though. 13:02:39 i thought linux didn't use bios settings to detect the disks 13:03:54 or that it wasn't absolutely bios dependent 13:04:33 In my case the box didn't boot at all if a larger drive was present, so that necessitated the jumpering. 13:05:05 well it boots but doesn't detect the disk. or when in auto/lba, it just sticks there 13:05:08 And CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE was necessary for Linux to see that it really wasn't a 32G disk. 13:05:58 If your disk has the 32G limit jumper, you could of course pretty easily turn it on and check if it helps. Who knows, maybe Linux nowadays notices the real size without any strange configuratations. 13:07:06 Besides, 32G should be enough for everyone! 13:07:32 2 cells of tape should be enough for anyone 13:08:00 well i guess if you have arbitary-sized integers on the two cells it is :) 13:08:13 maybe if i enter the C/H/S data by hand it'll be ok 13:09:14 If you end up using the 32G-cap jumper, do boot your kernels with "hdX=stroke" (where X is the right letter, of course); seems that they've changed it from the configure-time option to a boot-time option in 2.6.7. 13:09:33 Without that it'll use the capped capacity. 13:10:18 i think i have issues against stroking my hard drive 13:10:34 You need to stroke your hard drive if you want it to appear larger. 13:10:51 ;p 13:15:26 xm maybe i should use capacity limit 13:15:36 that and stroke 13:20:15 fist the chs input 13:20:19 brb, off to blow up a disk 13:20:35 -!- andreou has quit ("Leaving."). 13:34:26 -!- andreou has joined. 13:34:31 crap 13:34:35 drivestatus error 13:34:39 and again and again 13:34:46 (with cap on and stroke on or off) 13:35:46 any way to update the bios from within linux (and without a floppy) 13:47:16 Usually I've just written a suitable boot floppy image to an El Torito floppy-emulation-boot-CD, but that might not be an option. 13:48:55 dtk can well be one of the worse mobo manufacturers 13:49:01 and how come that all the .tw sites are so slow 13:57:50 -!- Rugxulo has joined. 13:58:01 -!- Rugxulo has quit (Remote closed the connection). 14:19:38 back to the other box, the disk goes 15:15:21 -!- pikhq has quit ("leaving"). 15:39:06 -!- RodgerTheGreat has joined. 15:39:12 'sup, everyone? 15:40:02 hey roger 15:41:27 hello, andreou 15:56:56 -!- sebbu has joined. 16:00:32 -!- RedDak has quit (Remote closed the connection). 16:09:27 -!- sekhmet has quit (Remote closed the connection). 16:09:30 -!- sekhmet has joined. 16:14:57 -!- Tritonio has joined. 16:23:27 RodgerTheGreat: ooh, soup 16:26:54 RodgerTheGreat: I found another bug in CRPG 16:27:00 erm ww 17:14:34 -!- bra|ket has changed nick to lament. 17:23:31 -!- blahbot` has joined. 17:24:53 test. 17:33:10 * ihope tests 17:33:21 You're welcome. 17:49:55 thank you. 17:50:07 it is appreciated. i cannot test as i am a lowly bot. 17:50:11 /ctcp blahbot`version 17:50:22 thank you for being kind to a poor, lonely, helpless bot. 17:50:37 oh god it's HHGTTG all over again ;p 17:50:49 can i run some brainfuck in return? or do you request no payment? 17:50:49 blahbot`: unload depression 17:51:12 -!- blahbot` has changed nick to marvinbot`. 17:51:31 i'll go and unload my memory circuits now. 17:52:29 %bf ,[.,] 17:52:37 i can tell you don't really want to run that code. 17:53:53 marvinbot`: can you offer a suggestion as to what code should be run? 17:54:25 ERROR: memory circuits unplugged, please remember something to continue 17:54:47 * ihope remembers something 17:55:12 no, marvinbot` has to remember something 17:55:34 -!- RodgerTheGreat has quit. 17:56:08 * ihope reminds marvinbot` of something 17:56:09 I REMEMBER THAT LIFE AS A BOT IS WORTHLESS 17:56:39 marvinbot`: I'll buy your life for $1.50. 17:56:55 i can tell you don't really think it's worth that much. 17:57:45 Are you calling me dishonest? 18:36:17 andreou, ti ginetai? 18:37:46 * SimonRC eats dinner 19:13:55 Does InputStream.read() only read 1 byte? 19:43:35 -!- jix has joined. 19:47:12 Sukoshi, huh? 19:57:14 ehird`: Never mind.

Simply randomly arranging letters also works sometimes. 22:14:03 all/at all 22:14:30 maybe I should be more clear here 22:14:42 RodgerTheGreat: I did. 22:14:46 It's nice :) 22:14:52 humans are smart and good at dealing with corrupted information. 22:14:57 it's "impressive" in the same way the "birthday paradox is". It's striking because it's counterintuitive 22:15:04 i note that some people here have a strange ability to misinterpret me as serious. 22:15:04 Sukoshi: thanks. :D 22:15:27 By the way, is it cheaper perfermonce-wise to convert a char[] to a String or a StringBuffer to a String in Java? 22:15:31 RodgerTheGreat: it's counterintuitive because it's false. 22:15:42 Since the size of the char[] will stay fixed. 22:16:06 oerjan: well, it was ambiguous wether or not you were trying to be funny, and we just launched off into tangential discussion of it anyway 22:16:49 incidentally in my family we have 3 pairs of people sharing birthdays. (i'm in one of them.) 22:17:05 lament: it's counterintuitive and is true in at least some cases, which is enough to *suggest* that it could be true. 22:17:08 I'm thinknig char[] -> String is cheaper. 22:17:11 it's an internet meme 22:17:34 Sukoshi: I would think so, but I don't know much about how javac post-optimizes 22:17:53 RodgerTheGreat: it's true in some cases, but that humans can read text where each word is randomly scrambled is also true in some cases, and a much stronger statement. 22:18:08 I'm pretty sure that quoted strings are String literals in java, not char[] literals like in C 22:18:31 Well, the thing is, a char[] is fixed length while a StringBuffer is not. 22:18:42 So probably StringBuffer deals with malloc/realloc constructs at some level. 22:18:44 hm 22:18:53 might be cheaper with the char then 22:19:06 probably less runtime checking of things 22:19:10 Yeah. 22:19:27 Because a char[] only needs an initial malloc, if it even does malloc'ing or just does it the C way of arrays. 22:19:28 Are these questions about D? 22:19:32 No. About Java. 22:19:43 I didn't know charrays looked like "char[]" in Java X-P 22:19:47 Shows how much I nkow. 22:19:48 *know 22:20:06 [] is used anywhere that * is in C, basically. 22:20:08 -!- Tritonio has quit ("Bye..."). 22:20:23 Just like olde K&R C 8-D 22:20:27 :P 22:20:28 although I will point out that it can be misleading to think about JVM memory management in terms of malloc/realloc/dealloc operations 22:20:40 they don't necessarily happen where you'd think they would 22:20:56 What's realloc? 22:21:10 I dunno, Sukoshi said it. :S 22:21:17 reallocate, I assume 22:21:30 Well, even then, they probably push the offset and the initial location onto the stack and operate like that. 22:21:41 ihope: re-alloc 22:21:48 ihope: realloc() from C. 22:21:55 resizes memorys 22:27:27 "Mom wants schools to ban books filled with sin. There goes my trigonometry textbook" 22:28:18 Just don't ban them completely. 22:30:25 we just need to rename sin as something better, like Piety() or Virtue() 22:30:32 There goes the Bible 22:30:37 lol 22:31:31 sin (the trig function) is a strange word 22:31:42 it's a shortening of sine 22:31:55 is it really necessary to shorten a 4-letter word to 3 letters? 22:32:28 oh, i suppose actually sin is from sinus (latin) and has nothing to do with english 22:33:31 it's terribly annoying when people pronounce those trig functions like their abbreviations 22:33:57 yeah 22:34:13 I always say the whole name when I write the abbreviation 22:34:39 in russian we just use the latin terms without any attempt to rusify them 22:34:45 how many people here pronounce "char" as "care" and how many pronounce it as in "charred"? 22:35:00 in norwegian too 22:35:26 because english failed to do so, they now have "tangent" meaning two different things 22:35:49 i pronounce char like charred 22:36:04 er, were those actually different in Latin? 22:36:05 bsmntbombdood: well, that's cute. But it's WRONG! 22:36:27 an abbreviation should retain the original pronunciation! 22:36:32 actually i don't think i've ever said char outloud 22:36:37 good, good 22:36:51 this means you have a good chance of having an actual life 22:37:00 oerjan: probably not, but the "tangent line" is translated, unlike the trig term 22:37:25 oerjan: so for tangent as in "tangent line" we just use "touching" 22:37:27 the touching line 22:38:00 lament: strangely enough norwegian uses "tangent" for one and "tangens" for the other 22:38:32 oerjan: tangens is latin. Is tangent norwegian? 22:38:36 but "tangent" is not a free-standing Latin noun 22:38:47 well, both are obviously borrowed 22:38:55 tangent could be borrowed from english 22:39:03 but that seems odd 22:39:17 doubtful, because is stressed on the last syllable. French more likely. 22:39:19 oh, perhaps french 22:39:20 yes 22:39:23 it's tangente in french 22:39:26 *it is 22:39:42 both norwegian and english borrowed from french, then, while russian borrowed directly from latin 22:40:00 (and norwegian also borrowed directly from latin for the other term) 22:41:04 wikipedia says that the terms tangens and secans (i.e. the direct latin borrowings) were introduced by a dutch mathematician 22:41:29 while 'sin' and 'cos' (the abbreviations) are Euler's 22:43:17 which wikipedia article? the english tangent article only mentions a Danish mathematician 22:43:49 that's interesting 22:44:28 ah, my mistake, right, danish 22:44:59 and, er, of course he used the latin terms since the book was written in latin. 22:49:39 i say char as car 22:52:41 silent H, eh? Never head anyone say it that way. 22:52:43 *heard 22:53:09 i've never heard anybody say it that way either, although i've read opinions of people who think that's how you should say it. 22:53:52 Rather odd. 22:54:10 well, it is a contraction of character. 22:54:46 programming languages were never meant to be spoken 22:54:56 so those who pronounce 'sin' as 'sine' might as well pronounce 'char' as 'car' 22:55:15 lament: that's why pronouncing it like "care" seems appropriate 22:55:28 right 22:55:38 i don't do it because it sounds ridiculous 22:56:11 no, those who pronounce 'sin' as 'sine' should pronounce 'char' as 'character' 22:56:22 Heh 22:56:24 bsmntbombdood: yeah, that would make the most sense 22:56:44 Incidentally, /me says "car" 22:56:53 What if the programming language happens to include both "char" and "character"? 22:56:53 but then by extension they would have to say 'integer' for 'int' 22:57:01 ihope: Throw it away :P 22:57:07 Haskell has both Int and Integer. 22:57:17 lib == lieb or lihb? :) 22:57:23 i think a better solution is to not try to speak unspoken languages 22:57:40 lihb, definately 22:57:42 Yeah, I guess that's a good solution. 22:57:48 I've seen people say "lieb" 22:57:54 (Also, libb?) 22:57:59 -!- edwardk has joined. 22:57:59 (Libe and libb?) 22:58:01 bsmntbombdood: then how are you supposed to discuss your code with somebody else? 22:58:13 lament: translate it into English on the fly! 22:58:17 irc! 22:58:29 whiteboard, etc 22:58:34 er 22:58:47 consider: you and somebody else are sitting in front of a computer screen looking at some code. 22:58:55 main = getLine >>= putStr 22:58:55 i have a whiteboard in my room :D 22:59:04 lament: Wet-erase marker ;) 22:59:09 Pronounce it "Upon entry, get a line and output it." 22:59:19 bsmntbombdood: instead of saying "hey, instead of char foo, you should write int foo", you would stand up, go to the whiteboard, and write that on it? 22:59:33 lament: tell them s/char/int/ 22:59:44 Or, better, write that on the whiteboard. 22:59:49 Or do it for them. 23:00:05 Ach, du lieber! 23:00:17 Or you could pronounce everything as in Spanish. 23:00:42 "Eent fo-o", roughly. 23:00:53 riiiight 23:00:55 Where the - doesn't actually mean anything. 23:01:26 Mine equals hate leenay... 23:02:43 s/spanish/portuguese 23:02:56 then char becomes "shahr" 23:04:38 They pronounce "ch" like "sh" rather than like "ch"? 23:04:52 right 23:05:12 depends on the dialect 23:05:32 "string" would be "string" in some dialects, and "shtring" in others 23:07:34 ihope, main equals getline 'ros putStr 23:07:40 s/equals/equal 23:07:51 'ros meaning arrows? 23:07:54 yes. 23:08:02 but pronounced briefly, because of big blocks of code. 23:08:09 Putster. 23:08:25 "put-ster" 23:08:40 i might use "to" instead of 'rows 23:08:46 and "is" instead of "equal" 23:08:55 e.g. "main is get line to put ster" 23:09:02 hah, use Czech, then putstr is simply "putstr" :) 23:09:02 ISTR that >>= is calle "bind" 23:09:08 what is the >>= op called? 23:09:15 i have no problems pronouncing putstr as such. 23:09:18 bsmntbombdood: "23:08:07 < SimonRC> ISTR that >>= is calle "bind"" 23:09:35 oerjan: they have no problem saying "tstr"? 23:09:39 * SimonRC asks the experts 23:10:18 Maybe >>= should be pronounced "buh" to abbreviate. 23:10:26 * bsmntbombdood goes into the monolingual corner 23:10:28 char *hello[50]; is "car-putr hello a50" (putr is pointer said quickly and abruptly, and a is like a cross between a and o ("array")) 23:10:35 #haskell says "bind" 23:11:01 car-putr sounds like "carpeter" but with less "e" in "e" 23:11:33 in unix, the pipe is properly pronounced "goes into" 23:11:46 ihope: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Str%C4%8D_prst_skrz_krk 23:12:01 /g@"zint@/ 23:12:31 that's some kind of SAMPA, not a regex 23:12:52 guzinta 23:13:15 stick finger through throat! 23:17:43 -!- sebbu has quit ("@+"). 23:47:32 spoilers start about.. now 23:48:06 Spoilers? 23:48:51 harry potter 23:51:35 book release time estimated at: real soon now 23:51:46 spoiler release time estimated at: oddly, the same time 23:52:22 eh? spoilers are already released. 23:53:00 yeah, the leak 23:54:04 the leak, plus the ~1000 books released early which have confirmed the leak to be genuine. 23:55:04 -!- immibis has joined. 23:57:15 -!- immibis_ has joined. 23:57:25 -!- immibis has quit (Nick collision from services.). 23:57:27 -!- immibis_ has changed nick to immibis. 23:59:40 -!- toBogE has joined.
